RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor designs ...

Modular laptop vendor Framework said it will launch a RISC-V product in 2025 RISC-V is the equivalent of Linux for hardware, open source and free More tech companies are adopting but it has yet to hit ...

Recent years have seen shakeups in the traditional dichotomy of the processor landscape, in which Arm ruled the mobile market with its low power consumption and cost, while Intel dominated the x86 ...

With x86 and ARM based laptops being both available in the market, which one should you pick over the other? The post x86 vs ...

Try to investigate the differences between the x86 and ARM processor families (or x86 and the Apple M1), and you'll see the acronyms CISC and RISC. It's a common way to frame the discussion, but not a ...

While the world+dog bangs on about the potential of RISC-V, it would appear the industry has not gotten the memo, and people with those skills are being sent to the dole office. SiFive has been laying ...

Framework is pioneering a fantastic approach to hardware design, placing emphasis on modularity, repairability, and upgradeability. This innovative strategy draws parallels with software ecosystems, ...

A technical paper titled “Is RISC-V ready for HPC prime-time: Evaluating the 64-core Sophon SG2042 RISC-V CPU” was published by researchers at University of Edinburgh. “The Sophon SG2042 is the ...

If you wanted to make a CPU, and you’re not AMD or Intel, there are two real choices: ARM and RISC-V. But what are the differences between the two, and why do companies choose one over the other?

Why it matters: RISC V pioneer SiFive has gone through several iterations, but has now solidified a business model that essentially positions it as a direct competitor to Arm. If they can continue to ...

[Michael Kohn] started programming on the Motorola 68000 architecture and then, for work reasons, moved over to the Intel x86 and was not exactly pleased by the latter chip’s perceived shortcomings.
